Help Student Support Services help students in need
Dec. 6, 2021
The UAF Wood Center Food Pantry, Academic Advising Center and Student Support Services are again teaming up to help support UAF students in need during the long holiday break.
The COVID-19 pandemic has not discriminated, and the number of students experiencing food insecurities has grown exponentially.
Here's where you come in.
The UAF organizers are requesting monetary donations of any amount to help purchase Fred Meyer grocery gift cards, which will help minimize interactions and the number of items passing through many hands. . The amount on each gift card will be based on the number of people in the recipient’s family.
Any extra donations will go toward the UAF Wood Center Food Pantry, which serves all UAF students in Fairbanks.
Last year, more than $3,000 in gift certificates helped more than 27 students and their families — many with small children. Please join the effort to help our students over the winter break!
